Which iPad model do I have?

Activate your iPhone's magnifier! It's SO handy.

Most people forget, especially if it's been a while since they unboxed their iPads.

To see which model you've got, look at the back of your device. The model number is in fine print below the words "iPad". And yes, I know - the text is so tiny and fine, I can't read them without a magnifying glass either.

Instead of hunting for a magnifying glass, here's a handy tip if you have an iPhone.

Turning on the Magnifier on your iPhone

There's a setting on your iPhone that turns it into a great hand-held magnifier. Here's how to turn it on:

Launch the Settings app

-> General -> Accessibility

Scroll right to the bottom of Accessibility settings and select Accessibility Shortcut

Pick Magnifier

Zoom in and out with the slider, then tap the white button to freeze the image.

When you next need to read super-fine print, triple-click your home button to activate the Magnifier.

Move the yellow slider to zoom in and out

Tap the white button to freeze the image. Note that this doesn't take a photo. It simply freezes the frame so you can clearly read text.

If you'd like to save the image, take a screenshot, which will be saved to your Camera Roll.

The image on the right is what I shot on the back of my iPad Pro. My iPad's model number is A1671.

This is a chart I made specifically for workshop participants to check which iPads they have, so they'll also be able to tell whether or not their devices will work with
